Chest of drawers

Question

How do I fix a chest of drawers if the drawers keep falling out?

Ian · Answer

You could attach a piece of wood in the middle so it braces and there for dose not separate

Paddy · Answer

Check for a saggy bottom;  if the carcass has lost it "square"; and check for lose or poorly installed tracks.

Gareth · Answer

It’ll be one of a few options, either the screws to the underside of the draws and the cabinet are loose *tighten up or replace with slightly larger ones making sure to check depth to the replacement and panel size. Or the whole unit has overtime started to loosen *take all draws out and find attachment usually a large X top and bottom, screw to tighten only need 30-45 degree turn Or it could be ball bearings on the draws, in which case they’re not really fixable and you’d need to reach out to the makers for a replacement part. Hope this helps. Or all else failed checks the round bits that hold them in place they could need tightening.

Gavin · Answer

The runners are probably broke or if it's new then you have put it together wrong

Chris · Answer

Depending on the age of draw base! & the material ie: hard board/5 mm ply etc. The draw base may of bullged some what, take out have a look! Flip the base up side down, use wood glue or PVA glue, maybe sit draw on its side with a weight on top until glue is dry. Once dry re-fit draw. Do not overload with weight of clothes. Try to add a drawing or picture next time one needs advice. 
Kind regards Chris

Hi 
You need to open it apart and refit it but this time you need to add wood glue where panels or floor board meet and you need to add little studs sold at any DIY shop Such as B&Q to be fitted underneath of flat board that is floor board of drawers.
